decrease in performance and/or damage to the compressor. Damage caused by
improper maintenance will void the warranty.

filters and then rinse them thoroughly under running water (no hotter than 104°F) Do
not wet the activated carbon filter, remove from frame before washing.

Draina
g
e
During the process of cooling or heating, some water will be extracted from the air into the unit. Most o
this water is used to cool the unit and make it run more efficiently. This is a feature not found in mos
t
Portable Air Conditioners. If the unit is operated in VERY HUMID air, water will collect in the container
inside the unit. If the water container is full, the compressor and fan will stop. The POWER indicator will
b
link to inform you to empty the
internal container. To make the cooling function work again, please
empty the water by one of the following methods:
By the Draining into a Container
Use a Shallow Container or Dish
1. Turn off the unit.
2. Position a flat container or dish under the drain hole.
Do not allow the water to drip continuously into the container, as i
t
might easily overflow.
3. Remove the drain knob & rubber plug from the drain hole. The
condensed water will drain out automatically.
4. When the container is almost full, replace the rubber plug into
the drain hole to stop the water. Empty the container.
5. Repeat steps 2, 3 & 4 until all the condensed water is emptied.
6. Once all the condensed water has been removed, replace the
rubber plug into the drain hole firmly. The Full Water indicator
should be off now.
7. Replace the drain knob.
* Do not allow the water to drip continuously into the tray, as it
may easily overflow.
By Water Tube (Continuous Drainage)
1. Remove the drain knob and rubber plug and keep them for
future use.
2. Use Teflon tape to cover threading on spout, making a flat
surface for the hose. This will prevent leakage.
3. Connect a suitable water tube (of 3/4" internal diameter -
supplied) to the water hole. The condensed water will drain out
automatically.
4. If you want to extend the water tube you can connect it with
another tube (outside diameter ¾”).

Mounting the unit
This unit is a portable air conditioner. It can be moved from room to room so that the cooling
can follow you anywhere. Fitting the exhaust hose is easy, through a window or wall.
Please refer to either of the following ways:
1. Using the foam strips
Installation
• Connect the supplied foam strips with the exhaust
pipe, let the hot air flow to the outside.
• Should the foam strip(s) be too large, cut off the extra part to fit the window.
2. Using the Through the Wall
• Make a hole (5" in diameter) in the wall to fit the supplied round connector.
• Fit the hose directly to the round connector.
• When the hole is not in use, use the cap for the round connector to cover the hole.

Installation
WARNING!
The length of the exhaust pipe is specially
designed according to the specification of this
product.
Do not replace or extend it with your own hose
as this could cause the unit to malfunction.
Mounting the exhaust pipe
• The supplied exhaust hose can be
extended from 1 foot to 5 feet for
mounting. It is recommended that
you use the shortest possible length
of hose.
• Take care to prevent any kink or
b
end in the middle of the exhaust
hose, as this will trap hot exhaust
air, which will radiate back into the
room.
Installation of the Carbon Filter
1. Remove the filter frame from the unit.
2. Separate the filter from the filter frame.
3. Remove the active carbon filter from its
plastic bag.
4. Insert the active carbon filter into
the filter frame.
5. Fix the filter by reassembling
the fixer onto the filter frame.
6. Re-fit the filter frame inside
the unit.
7. It is recommended to replace
the carbon filter every 3 to 6
months..

• Drainage of the water container is required before moving the unit or
putting it into storage.
• If the electric socket is different from the plug provided, have a
professionally qualified electrician replace the plug with a suitable one.
Avoid the use of adaptor plugs, multiple sockets and/or extension leads;
if their use is necessary, ensure that they conform to the current safety
regulations.
• Do not pull the supply cable or place it near
a source of heat; always
unroll it completely to avoid the possibility of dangerous overheating.

airflow direction from the vertical louvers.
Notice!
• To prolong the unit’s life, it will start 3 minutes after the unit was switched on. After switching
off, please wait at least 3 minutes before switching it on again.
• The cooling system will switch off if the room temperature is lower than set. The fan,
however, keeps working at the set level. If the ambient te
mperature rises above the chosen
